` Application led June 24, 1913. Serial No. 775,481.

To all whom, it may concern Be it knownthat I, JOHN E. EsAUcn, a citizen of the United' States, and a resident of Shenandoalnin the county of Page and State ot' Iowa, have invented a new and lm- -the following' is scri tion.' i T is invention relates to a tool especially adapted 4for holding two parts in assembled a's to be soldered or otherwise united, the tool bein@ in the nature of pliers designed especially or use by jewelers, opA ticians and'the like for conveniently holdfing broken parts together while being soldered. l

The invention has for 4to improve and sim assembling tools o ay full, clear, and exact dco'ne oit' its objects lii'y the construction of the cheiecter referred to so )as to berreliable and convenient. in use, comparatively inexpensive to manufacture and of durable and substantial design.

A further object of the invention is the provision ofe pair of pliers having two pairs of jaws so arranged that one piece of amped between one pair for enabling the other part of the article to be placed therein, und when so placed the first pair of jaws will yield while still holding the part of the article Whenpressnre is ereV being means :for locking the handles of the pliers while the jaws thereot1 are clamping-ijle parts of the Varticle to he soldered.

vlilith these objects in View, and others as will appear as the description proceeds, the ,invention comprises various novel features construction and arrangement of parts which will be more fully described hereinln the accom anying drawings, which illustrate one embodiment of the invention, Vand wherein similar 4reference characters are employed to designate corresponding parts ,throughout the several views. Figure 1 is ith one pair slightly gapsctional view .thereof closing'v'jaws in the'poplngg' Fig. 2 is a.

showing. the initial jews are closed on an article; lhg. 3 is a. View c.' the ends yof the Jaws, showing the `tips of one pair 'closed and the tips of the pair open; Fig. fl is a similar View showing an object o1' one part of an article clamped in one pair of jaws while the other pair is open; and Fig. 5 shows both pairs of closed on the objects or parts ot an article to be connected.

Referring' to the drawing, the two parts or sections of the tool are fashioned like :In ordinary pair of pliers, except that the jaws are constructed differently. The handles l and 2 of the tool sections are pivotally connected by a pivot il and thc handles are adapted to be sprung apart by a spring l suitably arranged between the handles and held in place by the pivot 3. The jaws 5 and G of the sections A and ll are oi: U-shaped construction, the tips a and Z; ot the jaw 5 being arranged to coperate with the tips a and Z/ of the jaw t). The memA bers of the jaws 'and (i arc so shaped that the tips L and a are the iirst parts of the v jaws that como into contact when the handles l and 2 are pressed toward each other, and in order tor the tins or members b and ZJ to come into Contact the hitndles l and 2 must be pressed closer together to cause the members a and a to stood that the me slightly resilient.

Figs. l and 3 show the gapping relation of the jaw members Z; and Z/ to the closed jaw members a and a', and when it is desired to clamp the objects or parts of an article together in a position to be soldered or otherwise secured the pliers are slightly opened so to separat-e the jaw members a and a suiliciently to enable the object c, Fig. 4', to be placed between and gripped by the members a and a. and o are of course pair of jaw members other mbcrs `of both jaws are 4open while the other grip theobject c, and

.another object c is placed between the jaw members l) end D', and such members are then closed on the object c by pressing the handles l and 2 together. In doing this the already closed jaw toward each otheras shown in Fig. 2 while' still holding the object c, While the two objects are thus held by the two pairs of jaw members the soldering of the twoobjects can be accurately performed. Itis to be'nnderstood that the gripping surfaces' of the jaw members can be made oi' any desired configuration to more firmly hold the articles to'be soldered.

ln order to loclr the pliers with the jaw' The jaw members o 9 yield, 1t being undcrmembers a and a yield 1 nlenibere` thereof in article-holding position u spring ratchet har 7 is nnehored :it S to the handle Q and slides through an opening 9 in the handle l, there heinel teeth l0 in the har T to engage the' edge. ot' the opening J i so as to hohl the handles ,i and 2 in an \v position. By Springdag the har T latex-all)Y its toothed edge can he disengaged E'roin :he edge of the opening t) .so that the handle members 1 and 2 will Spread apart hy the l pressure ol the spring and open the inw lfroin the foregoing' description taken in connection with the aeeon'lpanying dra inge, the advantages ot the eonelrnetion and -n1ethod of operation and of the device Shown will he` readily understood h y those skilled 1n the art to which the invention apperl'ains, and while l have deseriheld the `prineiple of operation. together with thel elaiin a5 new and desire to eeenre by Lettere: i
